Can the nitrogen generator be installed outdoors?

Yes, units can be installed outdoors, however it less expensive to install them indoors eliminating the need for optional outdoor accessories (rain protection; freeze protection; etc.). Most nitrogen generators are installed indoors.

Do your units make liquid nitrogen?

No. Our nitrogen generators are non-cryogenic and produce gaseous nitrogen. The nitrogen temperature will be roughly the same temperature as the ambient temperature in the room.

How big is a nitrogen generator?

Obviously, it depends on the flow rate of the unit. A rule of thumb: if you are using cylinders the unit will take up roughly the same amount of floor space. If you are using liquid dewars it will take up the same floor space as the dewars.

How much does a nitrogen generator cost?

Prices vary greatly from as low as $3000 to over a $1,000,000. Typically if you are consuming nitrogen on a continuous basis (70% of your day) a nitrogen generator will pay for itself in less than two years.
